Explore working front-end and back-end sample code using an integration with Nylas.
The sample applications redirect to the Nylas hosted authentication page. Once a user authenticates, it allows them to interact with the Nylas APIs from a web client.
Before you get started, head over to your Quickstart Application on the Nylas Dashboard for a copy of your client id and client secret. You'll need those later in the demo.
Let’s check that our environment is set up to use the Nylas Node SDK. Check the Node version in your terminal:
$ node -v
v18.0.0If you don’t see a version returned, you may not have Node installed. Try the following steps:
- Visit nodejs.org to set up Node on your machine
- Recommended: If you happen to use or require multiple versions of Node, consider using nvm
The minimum required Node version is v18.0.0. As a quick check, try running node -v again to confirm the version. You may need to restart your terminal for the changes to take effect.
If choosing a python backend for your demo application, please make sure you have python 3.7 or later installed. Check your installation with:
python3 --version
View the README.md files in the backend and frontend directories for instructions on how to set up the server and client. These README files include set up instructions for each language.
Start the backend server first, then in a new terminal, start the frontend server.
Once the servers are running, visit the app at http://localhost:3000. You can also visit the backend server at http://localhost:9000.
